After understanding the basic concept of color temperature, we will find that the rhythm of sleep, work and rest of ordinary people in a day actually coincides with the color temperature change of natural light in a day. The environment with high illumination and color temperature in the daytime is suitable for work and study, while the warm color temperature and low illumination are more comfortable when we rest and relax in the evening. Therefore, the lighting design can simulate the Circadian rhythm change of natural light to give people a better sense of comfort.
This design principle regarding light color temperature is certainly very correct, but in practical applications, it is often taken out of context and greatly misunderstood.
The first scenario is that the owner completely does not understand or value lighting.
When decorating, the lighting fixtures may be purchased by the contractor casually, so it’s lucky to have a mix of 4000K down lights, 2700K light bulbs, and 3000K light strips like this. If you happen to encounter a contractor with a more avant-garde aesthetic, then buy you blue light strips, green light strips, and R! G! B! There are many people around, so if you don’t believe it, just look up in a neighborhood at night and you won’t be disappointed.
Whenever I see a myriad of colorful and disorderly lights, as a practitioner in related industries, I find it very unpleasant.
Because in my opinion, simple lighting design should be the most accessible and cost-effective way for ordinary people to improve their quality of life or comfort during the decoration process. It’s really a small investment with big returns. The expression of light and shadow can significantly improve the level of space, and excellent lighting quality is also beneficial for the physical and mental health of users.
Unfortunately, it seems that there is still a long way to go before lighting design can benefit more ordinary people’s homes.
The domestic lighting design market is already very young, and the residential field is still in its early stages of chaos. There are few people in the market who take design seriously and do it on the ground, and there are many who sell lights under the name of lighting design. To paraphrase the recent popular saying, “all talk about design, all think about selling goods, everyone should pay attention to distinguish.
